****P L E A S E ******R E A D ********T H I S **********W H O L E *************D E S C R I P T I O N!!!!**** GARBAGE MUST BE BROUGHT HOME WITH YOU!!!! If you bring it here, it goes home with you. We had a group not understand this so I want to make sure it is clear. Firewood is for sale here for CASH! Please bring CASH with you. Sixty acres of magical trees, a one acre pond, and a three acre field. From the road there is a two hundred foot elevation gain to the top of the hill. Along the way are several hundred feet of rock ledges, caves, and critters. Most of the land is sloping, but the hilltop is flat as a table, with prehistoric-looking ferns under a dense canopy of mature trees. The campsites are ultra secluded- about a quarter mile apart from each other. All sites include a fire pit, cooking grate, picnic table, and sites 2&3 have platforms. Camp ONE: is on the top of the hill, and a small car can be driven to within 150 feet of it. It is pretty flat, and surrounded by blackberry bushes, ferns, and trees. Camp TWO: is on a bluff overlooking a picturesque swamp, filled with hemlock trees and ferns. This site can not be driven to with anything less than a high clearance SUV (ie- jeep wrangler), so I consider it a hike in site. It is under a ten minute walk from the pond and parking lot, but the view and feel is worth it. (It has been brought to our attention that there is occasionally a group riding atvs on a neighboring property that are audible from this site. We have no control over what time it happens, so please keep this in mind) Camp THREE: is accessible with a four wheel drive vehicle, something at least as high as an SUV. It is the closest to the house and pond, but still far enough to feel secluded and completely private. If you choose to walk there, it’s only a couple minutes from the parking area. Throughout the property, there are many quiet places to hang out, flat spots to do yoga, trails to explore, and fishing and swimming in the beautiful pond. We are also just ten minutes from the Upper Delaware River, and all it has to offer. If you have any questions or want something you don’t see here, send me a message. Instagram.com/campquiltedwoods

4. Forest Fringe Farm

1 site · Tent · Jeffersonville, NY
Forest Fringe Farm is a lush, arts- and ecology-infused haven tucked into the quiet backwoods of Bethel, New York — an evolving farmstead where wetlands, meadows, and forest edge meet in a living classroom of regeneration. Guests come here for peace, wildlife, big open skies, and the feeling of stepping into an environment cared for with intention. Our private campsite sits in the second meadow, surrounded by tall grasses, wildflowers, and the gentle hum of pollinators. You’ll have a fire ring and easy access to our activities deck, a hexagonal platform designed as a communal hangout for morning coffee, yoga, reading, painting, or simply watching the light move across the landscape. From the deck, you can spot deer moving through the tree line, hawks circling overhead, and hear the chorus of frogs and crickets from the nearby wetland. Forest Fringe Farm is off-grid and proudly low-impact. We use a rainwater catchment system to supply wash water and nourish surrounding plantings, giving guests a glimpse into how small farms manage water in creative, climate-resilient ways. For bathroom needs, we offer a clean, thoughtfully maintained compost toilet — odorless, private, and part of the sustainable systems that keep this ecosystem healthy. Guests are free to explore the farm’s winding pathways, small orchard zones, and wild edges. Depending on the season, you may see bees drifting through the clover or the greenhouse undergoing its morning warm-up. Evenings here are perfect for stargazing — the sky opens wide above the meadow, and the sounds of the forest settle into a quiet rhythm. Forest Fringe Farm is meant for guests seeking rest, wonder, and connection to the land. Whether you’re here to unplug, walk the fields, cook outdoors, or simply breathe, this place invites you to slow down and root yourself in the landscape.
